if ur gona get an S7000 then now is the time, they are selling for £349 on the highstreet, down from £549 a year ago, but this is because it will soon be replaced by another model, prolly by April,
the other thing about the S7000 is that it eats batteries alive, and one good session ( around 60 shots/50% flash ) will kill em outright
you can find a good review on em here
